Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA). An emergency condition in which extremely high blood glucose levels, along with a severe lack of insulin, result in the breakdown of body fat for energy and an accumulation of ketones in the blood and urine.
If your body is not producing insulin, ketone bodies will begin to build up in your bloodstream. This buildup of ketone can produce a life-threatening condition known as ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis caused by the consumption of alcohol is known as alcoholic ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis can also develop in patients who have diabetes. This condition is known as diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA.
